Much uncertainty was felt in New York as
to the outcome Of the Sharp case, and the dis

no means felt sure of the conviction Of the de-
PENDANT. They were at work ON the case
weeks before It came to trial As Sharp was
the first man 10 be tried in New York ON the
charge Of having given a bribo, the case pre-

Glimpse of German Social Life.

Compared with an American watering
place life is exceedingly simple. There
are no great balls, no splendOr, no bril-
liant life, no Anglomaniacs. More than
this, there are no gambling hells, and If
the devil is here in any shape he keeps
so secluded that he can do no harm. The
best sides and the most refined figures Of
German society are seen here to adyan-
tage, and one is continually struck with
their increasing reese mblances to the peo-
pie of the greater outer world in man
ners, instincts, and appearance, which is
not one of the least of the signs that Ger
many has DOW become a country of the
world (weltland), and will probably
never again sink into the old particularist
pettiness of "s.X Germans and seven Opin
ions" The life here is simple and
rational The better class of German
ladies often compare favorably with our
own in tasteful dress, and tailors and
dressmakers, who few years ago were
uncomfortable, now provide garments
which often fit" better than those usually
seen in Boston or New York.
With all its delightful features, Ger
man life, however, has some decided
faults We often see ladies with heels so
high it makes one dizzy to contemplate
them, and waists laced to suffocation.
Contrary, too, to usual belief, German
family life Is not so delightful as IL Is
often represented. The domestic and in
tenectual position of women in cultivated
circles is better than is usually supposed,
but the German-parhaps l should say
the Europeans abnorma1ly selfish, and,
while he is in no way averse to disturbing
his fellows in the course of his pleasures
and at a table d'hOte can endure the
colossal din which he himself helps to
make, he is otherwise often extremely
eXacting and dictatorial. Children are
severely disciplined, and are never
troublesome" In the main they are
pretty much left to themselves or to the
not Oveltender mercies of attendants An
American German lady informed friend
here that her nurse abused her baby
"Oh, yes" she replied, Il know it; but II
l discharge her l shall lose her sister, the
cook. "-German Watering-Place Letter

ONLY ONE OF HIS KIND.
A Queer Little Old Man Who Gets Along
by Following a Queer Business.

A Queer Little Old Man Who Gets Along
by Following Queer Business.
On much travelled uptown thorough
fare a little half-story wooden shop stands
between two big business blocks, for all
the world like diminutive chunk of ham
between the abnormally thick slices of
bread in a railroad sandwich The little
shop and ground on which it is built are
owned by a shrivelled old man. The shop
has two front windows. In one hangs
card bearing the legend "Buttonholes in
SIDE" and in the other is another with the
inscription, ANY button matched-10
cents only"
Within the little shop are shelves and
counters covered with pasteboard trays
containing a larger collection of buttons,
probably, than can be found anywhere
else in New York There is every sort of
button known to civilization, from the
plain white shirt button whose absence
has caused untold miser:es in many
family circle, to the bold faced metallic
military button which saves a life every
now and then in war stories by turning a
bullet from it's deadly course; buttons of
jet, gilt, ivory, bone, glass and wood,
plain buttons, parti- colored buttons,
enamelled buttons, plush-covered buttons,
buttons with shanks and without shanks,
rough buttons and smooth buttons, but
tons that were invented yesterday and
buttons that were made half century
ago.
In the back of the shop there is bench
like a cobbler's, where the old man sits all
day cross-legged. A pretty faced little
girl, who looks old for her size, waits upon
customers. She is the little old mans
granddaughter. Neither the old man nor
his granddaughter is inclined to talk
freely about their business. To reporter,
however, the little girl said: ave match
buttons and sew them on the coats or
vests of gentlemen and on the dresses of
ladies. Oh, yes, we have a good many
customers, principally young men, who
have lost button or two and haven't any
one to sew them on or can't match the
buttons in the regular stores. We often
have calls from seamstresses also, who
need a few buttons they can't find else
where. You see our collection is so large
that we can supply the missing buttons in
almost any set. Where did we get such
large collection? Grandpa has been gath
ering it for years He has a number of
tailor shops and dressmaking establish
ments which he visits regularly. From
these he gets odd buttons by the hum
dreds, very cheap. We charge only 10
cents for any button that may be desired.
OF course, some of them are worth good
deal more than that, but as the demand
is greatest for the cheap kinds we make
fair profit in the long run.-NeW York
Mail and Express.
